根据我们的观测，今年的14号峰值并没有出现！

：（

1499年ダストトレイルを通過．エコー数の増加は28MHzに顕著．53MHzではほぼ通常レベル
今後の経過に注目．次のピークは19日～20日かけて続けて3回
日本でも観測可能なピークがあり！

科学不能存在侥幸心理，像你说的幸好没去这种话，在科学界是是大大的态度不端正！

2003 Leonids FLASH result by Japanese Visual Observation.
1499 trail was predicted around 15:00-18:00 13/14 night.
It was clear sky in Japan. So, many observed data were
reported. Most of observers said "Almost of meteors were
faint".

----------
In this time, since this report is FLASH for whole
Leonid period, population index is 2.2
On 13/14 night, however, there were many faint meteors.
This means a large population index. Therefore, Mr.Shigeo
UCHIYAMA caluclated other population index as following.

--Daily Result
DATE(UT) r ZHRave Err.
-----------------------------
Nov.13d 2.5 63.5 3.0
Nov.13d 3.0 78.4 3.7
Nov.13d 3.5 92.8 4.4

--Hourly Result

DATE ZHR(ave) ZHR(ave) ZHR(ave)
(UT) r=2.5 r=3.0 r=3.5
-------------------------------------------
Nov. 13d 16:00 44.2 54.3 64.3
Nov. 13d 17:00 54.1 67.4 80.4
Nov. 13d 18:00 69.6 86.8 103.9
Nov. 13d 19:00 66.3 82.1 97.3
Nov. 13d 20:00 71.7 84.8 96.7

When population index is large, ZHR is neary 100.
Then we do not calculate population index from observed
magnitude distribution yet. If population index is
around 3.5 or 3.5<, we can say the prediction was true.
